Background and release

After collaborating on "Where Them Girls At", "Turn Me On" and "Hey Mama", "Light My Body Up" marks the fourth time David Guetta and Nicki Minaj have worked together on a song. Released on March 23, 2017, the song carries a theme of fire throughout the piece and includes guest vocals by rapper Lil Wayne, his first time collaborating with Guetta since "I Can Only Imagine".[3]

According to Minaj, earlier versions of the song only had her vocals and did not include her rap verse. The first verse was added later after Guetta played a demo of the song to his daughter Angie who remarked: "Why isn't Nicki rapping on it too?" the music was produced between the 12th until May 15, 2016 [4] Wayne's verse was also added later after Minaj surprised the French DJ with it.[5]

"Light My Body Up" is written in the key of F♯ minor with a tempo of 146 beats per minute.[6]
